Sunrise (A Bittersweet Letter )
(Note: I’m an aspiring writer and would greatly appreciate feedback. Thank You.)

Extra Note: Anything with a (*) symbol, is of my own thoughts, and or memories. The work your about to read is from my late father, who was taken from me when I was in slumber. I awoke a hundred years later to find it in my room, in a children’s nursery book he read to me.

Sunrise
A time when the Sun wakes, and the Moon rests.
When you must go, and I must stay.
Your words speak of promises,
That keep my dreams at bay.
Your eyes show warmth,
That even I can not portray.
Why is it, then, you held onto my heart?
That fears the thought of venturing out of the dark.
Oh, how your kindness tears it apart!
Knowing that you will soon depart.
Disregarding my love for you, and throwing it out.
While I reach for you, with a sorrowful song, affirming my doubts.
Leaving me, and our son, for a hunter with a warmer heart.
Instead of staying by my side, and thawing mine out.
Its been thirty years since you walked on out,
How long have I pushed your memory down?

I leave everything I own to you, my youthful son. For you had to carry the same pain I had to. Forgive me, for when you read this, I’ll be gone. Turned to ashes by your mother’s eldest son. Sleep in undisturbed dreams, where the sunrise doesn’t reach you. Within the arms of darkness I shall keep you. I love you my son, I wish you well. As I meet my end, and end this depressed spell.
With & From Love Eternal
- Hendrick W. Galestorm,1673.
